The classic illustrators

[Stephen Whiteside]

Interesting that you seem to like Outhwaite but not Barker. I always though they were very similar.

Although more noted for his satirical cartoons (he was at one time declared the best cartoonist in the world) rather than his illustrations Will Dyson was one of Australia's finest talents. Brother of Edward (Ted) Dyson he was married to Norman Lindsay's sister Ruby and worked in England and America where he received great acclaim. He illustrated Edward's book of poetry and wrote poetry himself. He was the first official Australian war artist and his work is in in the Australian War Museum, The National Gallery and the Albert and Victoria Museum in London.
